Stealth Bastard – Tactical Espionage Arsehole Action

Curve Studios have finally released the awesomely titled Stealth Bastard into the world. The game is completely free to play on the PC and can be downloaded now from the Stealth Bastard website.

For those amongst you old enough to remember classic AMIGA games like Rick Dangerous and Benefactor this game will have somewhat of a familiar feel to it. It also features some distinctly Metal Gear Solid like gameplay but with added fun.

I’ve been playing Stealth Bastard for quite a while and have been loving it to bits. The controls are really simple with your character’s abilities limited to walking, jumping, crouching and pushing objects. No weapons or extra kit to faff around with. The aim of the game it to survive long enough to reach the level exit. This involves avoiding all the security cameras, robots and laser beams. I can tell you now, there are some fiendishly horrible traps lying in wait for you.

One of the contributors to this site – Tikipod – is responsible for Stealth Bastard’s graphics and some of the most evil levels in game like RailJump and Raider. RailJump in particular had me using quite a lot of expletives along with Tikipod’s name.

The game also comes with a very powerful level editor. The same editor Tikipod used to cause me so much suffering. Once you’ve created your level you can upload it and share it with the world. You can also download and rate other people’s levels too. I’m really looking forward to seeing what fantastic levels people can come up with.

Here is the official trailer for the game, so you can see what lies in wait for you.
